It’s in with the Old<\/em><\/strong> as M. Night Shyamalan<\/strong>‘s new feature film surpasses modest expectations, debuting higher than G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes<\/em><\/strong> and taking the number spot at the box office. Old<\/em> earned $16.5 million domestically. Talk about a plot twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither Old<\/em> nor Snake Eyes<\/em> were expected to do exceptionally well in theaters, but no one expected Shyamalan’s beach thriller to overshadow the G.I. Joe flick. Snake Eyes<\/em>‘s reviews have been less than kind, earning a ‘B-‘ CinemaScore, however Old<\/em> was received even worse by audiences with a ‘C-‘ score, which definitely caused a few head scratches. While Old’s<\/em> $16.5 million isn’t much, the additional $6 million earned over seas pays for its $18 million budget. Snake Eyes’s<\/em> $13.3 million domestic and $4 million international earnings is only a drop in the bucket, as its budget was $88 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the effects of the pandemic are still being felt throughout the economy, causing some studios to change the way the release movies this year. The massive drop-offs of both Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/strong> and Black Widow<\/strong> are undoubtedly due to both films being available for streaming; Black Widow<\/em> being available to Disney Plus<\/strong> subscribers for an additional $30, and Space Jam<\/em> being available on HBO Max<\/strong> at no additional cost. With those two heavy hitters getting sucker punched at the box office for the weekends following their debut, Old<\/em> and Snake Eyes<\/em> were not expected to make a significant amount of money, even being theater-exclusive releases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space Jam’s<\/em> performance declined significantly after its opening weekend, earning only $9.5 million this weekend after a $31 million debut, dropping the family film to fourth place at the box office. Black Widow’s<\/em> third weekend earned the film $11 million, giving it the number three spot. Universal<\/strong>‘s <\/strong>F9: The Fast Saga<\/strong><\/em> rounds out the top 5 with $4.7 million in its fifth weekend in theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did Old’s<\/em> box office plot twist surprise you? Sound off below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
